Erik Isberg
was @Sweden(2012-06-04 to 2012-06-10)

My name is Erik Isberg. I’m 18 years old and I’m just about to finish my second year at high school where I’m studying social science. Currently I’m living with my parents and my brother in Trollhättan, a small industry town north of Gothenburg perhaps most famous for the recently closed SAAB-factory.

When I’m not struggling with understanding Spanish or writing essays in school, I enjoy, in no particular order: literature, music, spending time with friends, skiing in the winter and gazing at shoes I can’t afford on various websites. I spend a lot of time trying to be up to date with news and politics, something that interests me a lot.

I’m very excited to leave my usual account @isbergerik to become @sweden for a week. I’ll do my best to tell you my view on Sweden and what it’s like being young in a small Swedish town best known for a closed down car factory.
